@HuWutze (Mirko Glotz) will be part of our Orga crew and will greet all arriving participants on Friday, starting at 12:00/noon. Also, he will be there until 18:00/6pm on Sunday, so the conference room will be available for anyone interested in staying that late. In addition to that, he will be our resident video recording/​live streaming expert, most likely bringing his own equipment.

* We might pay [[http://​eisenbahnmuseum-bochum.de/​besucherinformationen/​informations-in-english/​index.php|Bochum Railway Museum]] a visit - Linuxhotel has suggested they could pull some strings for us to get guided a tour on Saturday, where the museum is usually closed for visitors. ​ Tour will cost 170 EUR for up to 10 persons, 8 EUR extra for each additional participant. ​ As we're still waiting to hear back from some participants regarding their arrival/​departure times, we can't book the tour yet. Another option would be to have our own, inofficial guide and go there on Friday or Sunday.
